Presentation Tools Web 2.0

This week I had to review presentation tools in which I may choose to use in my class project.  I tried a few of these sites out and chose to review four of the overall sites.

The first one is Prezi I thought this site would be good to use because I feel I would develop the best presentation.  The problem I ran into with this site is it is hard to use.  I feel it will take a lot of practice to develop the presentation, and I do not know if I have the time I need to put into this program.

The second one Google Sites, this is a wonderful tool to use in a classroom or for a family site.  I think this is a site I could learn very easily. It is a simple way to set up a place to share websites, pictures, videos, and more.

The third site I evaluated was authorStream; overall it is an easy site to use.  In fact all you have to do is know how to use PowerPoint.  Everything you design on PowerPoint can be uploaded to this site and be presented using authorStream.  It is a very easy site to use.  I do have to review the site some more, but overall I do like this site.

The final one in which I am thinking about using is SlideRocket. This site is as easy to use as PowerPoint, the only difference is the site is online and it does not have to be uploaded.  The only things you will need to upload are your videos and pictures unless they are online.
